Ambry Genetics	RCV000129834	SCV000184650	pathogenic	Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome	2022-03-07	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The c.1135_1139delAGAGA pathogenic mutation (also known as p.R379*), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1135 to 1139. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation has been previously identified in an individual diagnosed with Lynch syndrome (Kets CM et al. Br. J. Cancer. 2006 Dec 18;95(12): 1678-82) and in a patient with CMMRD (Tesch VK et al. Front Immunol. 2018 Jul;9:1506). It has also been reported in an individual with breast cancer at age 60, as well as endometrial and ovarian cancer at age 61, whose endometrial tumor showed loss of MSH2 on IHC (Frolova AI et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2015 Apr;137:7-13). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 17117178), endometrial and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 17453009, 26845104, 25617771), and cervical cancer (PMID: 26681312). This variant has been identified in 1/250986 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH6 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
Invitae	RCV000629947	SCV000750903	pathogenic	Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms	2023-12-19	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg379*) in the MSH6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18269114, 24362816). This variant is present in population databases (rs777907133, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal polyps, endometrial cancer, and cervical cancer (PMID: 17117178, 25617771, 26681312, 26845104, 28514183). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89174). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV003993788	SCV000917791	pathogenic	Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer	2024-02-21	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: MSH6 c.1135_1139delAGAGA (p.Arg379X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250986 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1135_1139delAGAGA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and Lynch Syndrome-associated malignancies (e.g. Kets_2006, Shirts_2015, Susswein_2015, Frolova_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17117178, 26681312, 25617771, 26845104). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89174). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine	RCV000074635	SCV005045713	pathogenic	Lynch syndrome	2023-09-22	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The c.1135_1139del (p.Arg379*) variant in the MSH6 gene, that encodes for mutS homolog 6, introduces a premature translation termination codon resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in several individuals (>10) affected with endometrial, ovarian, breast, colorectal cancers and Lynch syndrome (PMID:17117178, 17453009, 25617771, 28452373, 28514183, 26681312). Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9354786, 11709755, 20028993, 25318681). Truncating variants downstream of this variant are reported to be pathogenic in the literature (PMID: 29345684, 28514183) and by several ClinVar submitters (ClinVar ID: 418928, 1172098, 183736, 89184). This variant is found to be rare (1/250986; 0.000003984) in the general population database, gnomAD and interpreted as pathogenic by several ClinVar submitters including the expert panel (ClinVar ID: 89174). Therefore, the c.1135_1139del (p.Arg379*) variant in the MSH6 gene is classified as pathogenic.
